Objective:To observe the clinical effect of modified Qianjin Weijing tang and Maxing Shigan tang combined with point application on the basis of routine therapy for community-acquired pneumonia of phlegm-heat obstructing lung type.Methods:Selected 60 patients with community-acquired pneumonia of phlegm-heat obstructing lung type,and divided them into the treatment group and the control group randomly,30 cases in each group.Both groups were given symptomatic supportive treatment of antibiotics,spasmolysis,antiasthmatic as well as resolving phlegm.The treatment group was given modified Qianjin Weijing tang and Maxing Shigan tang combined with point application on the basis of routine therapy.Observed and recorded changes of procalcitoni(PCT)and C-reactive protein(CRP)in both groups before and after treatment.After one week,evaluated the curative effect.Results:After treatment,compared the curative effect and the syndrome effect between the two groups,differences were significant(P<0.05).Levels of PCT and CRP in both groups were declined when compared with those before treatment(P<0.01),and levels of PCT and CRP in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group,differences being significant(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion:In comparison with the routine western medicine therapy,the therapy of modified Qianjin Weijing tang and Maxing Shigan tang combined with point application on the basis of routine therapy for community-acquired pneumonia of phlegm-heat obstructing lung type can better relieve pulmonary inflammatory reactions,reduce exudation of lung and effectively alleviate the clinicalsymptoms.
